I spent every night for months trying to make everything work money wise for my situation but it never would, I was crying every night and buying for food and fuel on credit cards. These people where my last resort, that was my downfall. They should have been the first place I went to! If I had I would be in less debt but trying to admit you can't do it anymore is the hardest part. Without these people my family would be homeless and I don't know where we would be. It took two months to sort my account out and get up and running and the hardest part for me was phoning up and talking to a different person each time but otherwise it was all positive.

The staff are fantastic - I was very weepy and anxious when I finally got in touch with them, and they were so kind, non-judgemental, helpful and calm. They have made the process of sorting out my debt really simple. They explain everything, and are supremely patient. I recommended them to a friend years ago, and they were great then too. And now I've become a customer, I know first hand how helpful and knowledgeable they are. Reviewed on: 9th June 2025
